is there any difference between a dep and a convenience store or bodega or tabac? all look the same. all pretty crappy.
Readit NewsI typically do this too rather than use MCP. Have the LLM write the tool, along with tests to get it working, then use the tool.

Ironically, I instantly didn't trust this essay as I scanned it. The design and photo at the end confirmed my mistrust.
ctrlp commented on Is “The Phoenician Scheme” Wes Anderson's Most Emotional Film? newyorker.com/magazine/20... · Posted by u/prismatic
I like Wes Anderson movies in general, but I was unable to finish Asteroid City at home. It felt emotionally monotone. I probably need to go back and rewatch it.
Hope this one is a bit more exciting.
Rushmore is my favorite. The yearbook montage is awesome: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yMyh6ptegko
The genius of Rushmore is inseparable from the collaboration with Owen Wilson and the autobiographical inspiration of their school days. Wes Anderson can never make another movie like it. His oeuvre since then is without charm for me.

- Buy pans that can go in the dishwasher, or just accept they will have a reduced lifespan.
- Buy more utensils and plates than you need. It's just me and my partner but we have something like 20 mugs in the kitchen, 12-18 plates etc. Who cares?
why would I want to clutter my life with more than needed? Why would anyone want to be surrounded by dirty dishes, even in a partially loaded dishwasher? It takes time to fill one up unless you're feeding a lot of people at once. If it's not full, then either it's partially full of dirty dishes, or the sink is, or the dirty dishes are just lying around. All three of those options are disgusting. "Who cares?" Why not just live in filth? Why take out the trash before it overflows? Why clean up food mess from the counter or floor before it attracts vermin? Why bother keeping things neat and tidy?

The dishwashers in my various homes these past 25 years have served as extra plate storage with only occasional running to keep them in working order. Otherwise, we just wash our dishes by hand. I don't see the point of letting your dirty dishes accumulate in the dishwasher or the sink for that matter, when it is a simple and pleasant task to just clean them, dry them, and put them away. The alternative is pretty disgusting. As you cook, simply use spare moments to clean pots and pans as you go. Those can't go in the dishwasher anyway, so nothing gained there. Moreover, you have to clean the dishes before you put them in the dishwasher in any case so that the dishwasher can actually get them clean. Dishwashers feel like a double-taxation chore. You're already scraping off food, running the plates under water, and giving them a brief scrub even if you're using a dishwasher. And then you have to wait for the thing to finish while that dish or utensil is unavailable. Plus the little soap packets or pills or whatever are another hassle.
Just do your dishes by hand. If you have a big family with lots of dishes, what a great opportunity to teach kids some good habits.

I upgraded to Red Wings and Adidas Sambas. I'm astounded by the durability of both. Shoes used to be something I changed every season. It was indeed worth the cost.
Sambas for walking or running or sports? I've had good luck with Ecco shoes with Vibram soles for walking but my favorites were discontinued. Luckily, I bought a bunch of extras. As I've gotten older I've learned that if you find some shoe or clothing you really like, buy backups. So many great products are discontinued at some point.

I know it's not for cinema but anyone in Cambridge, MA should visit the nautical model museum at MIT. Has some excellent large models. https://mitmuseum.mit.edu/more/hart-nautical-gallery
If you buy a house for $400k, and suddenly it is worth $300k, you don't need to be "bailed out" for your purchase decision. You should have been certain that the house was worth $400k to you at the time of purchase. Otherwise you're a speculator, and we shouldn't be bailing out speculators.
It's called buyer's remorse. We accept it when it's a car or a TV, but suddenly when it's a house we're supposed to give massive government support to correct the buyer's mistake?
